Can I build This Ship?
-
Hi guys
Is there anyway i can trace this picture and build it in GS

I assume you mean in SU. Sure. Go ahead.
this doesn't belong in the LayOut forum though so I'll move it.

Can you be more specific? Exactly how much experience with (ship) modeling do you have?
-
Certainly can be achieved with SU, just keep your poly count down, use components and model in symmetry.

Also make sure you check out SU video tuts. Tutorials on airplane fuselage modeling might come in handy as well: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1183219
Downloading some 3D warehouse models to see how they were built might also be a good idea.

Take a look at 3DWarehouse
there are some models of boats like yours in SU Format

You're likely to become overwhelmed attempting such a model if you're new to SU. I would suggest starting out with something a little simpler (like maybe a rowboat?
). Just a suggestion.
